FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to inhibitors of zinc-dependent histonedeacetylases (HDACs) useful in the treatment of diseases or disordersassociated with HDACs including cell proliferation diseases (e.g.,cancer), neurological and inflammatory diseases. Specifically, thisdisclosure is concerned with compounds and compositions inhibitingHDACs, methods of treating diseases associated with HDACs, and methodsof synthesizing these compounds.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Many members of the HDAC family require zinc (Zn) to function properly.For instance, the isozyme histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is azinc-dependent histone deacetylase that possesses histone deacetylaseactivity. Other family members include HDACs 1-5 and 7-11. (De Ruijteret al, Biochem. J. 2003. 370; 737-749).

HDAC6 is known to deacetylate and associate with α-tubulin, cortactin,heat shock protein 90, ß-catenin, glucose-regulated protein 78 kDa,myosin heavy chain 9, heat shock cognate protein 70, and dnaJ homologsubfamily A member 1 (reviewed in Li et al, FEBS J. 2013, 280: 775-93;Zhang et al, Protein Cell. 2015, 6(1): 42-54). Diseases in which HDAC6inhibition could have a potential benefit include cancer (reviewed inAldana-Masangkay et al, J. Biomed. Biotechnol. 2011, 875824),specifically: multiple myeloma (Hideshima et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.USA 2005, 102(24):8567-8572); lung cancer (Kamemura et al, Biochem.Biophys. Res. Commun. 2008, 374(1):84-89); ovarian cancer (Bazzaro etal, Clin. Cancer Res. 2008, 14(22):7340-7347); breast cancer (Lee et al,Cancer Res. 2008, 68(18):7561-7569; Park et al, Oncol. Rep. 2011, 25:1677-81; Rey et al, Eur. J. Cell Biol. 2011, 90: 128-35); prostatecancer (Seidel et al, Biochem. Pharmacol. 2015 (15)00714-5); pancreaticcancer (Nawrocki et al, Cancer Res. 2006, 66(7):3773-3781); renal cancer(Cha et al, Clin. Cancer Res. 2009, 15(3): 840-850); hepatocellularcancer (Ding et al, FEBS Lett. 2013, 587:880-6; Kanno et al, Oncol. Rep.2012, 28: 867-73); lymphomas (Ding et al, Cancer Cell Int. 2014, 14:139;Amengual et al, Clin Cancer Res. 2015, 21(20):4663-75); and leukemiassuch as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (Fiskus et al, Blood 2008,112(7):2896-2905) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)(Rodriguez-Gonzalez et al, Blood 2008, 112(11): Abstract 1923)).

Inhibition of HDAC6 may also have a role in cardiovascular disease,including pressure overload, chronic ischemia, andinfarction-reperfusion injury (Tannous et al, Circulation 2008,117(24):3070-3078); bacterial infection, including those caused byuropathogenic Escherichia coli (Dhakal and Mulve, J. Biol. Chem. 2008,284(1):446-454); neurological diseases caused by accumulation ofintracellular protein aggregates such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's andHuntington's disease (reviewed in Simoes-Pires et al, Mol. Neurodegener.2013, 8: 7) or central nervous system trauma caused by tissue injury,oxidative-stress induced neuronal or axomal degeneration (Rivieccio etal, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2009, 106(46):19599-195604); andinflammation and autoimmune diseases through enhanced T cell-mediatedimmune tolerance at least in part through effects on regulatory T cells,including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, spondylitis arthritis,psoriatic arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, colitis and graft versushost disease (reviewed in Wang et al, Nat. Rev. Drug Disc. 20098(12):969-981; Vishwakarma et al, Int Immunopharmacol. 2013, 16:72-8;Kalin et al, J. Med. Chem. 2012, 55:639-51); and fibrotic disease,including kidney fibrosis (Choi et al, Vascul. Pharmacol. 201572:130-140).

Four HDAC inhibitors are currently approved for the treatment of somecancers. These are suberanilohydroxamic acid (Vorinostat; Zolinza®) forthe treatment of cutaneous T cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma;Romidepsin (FK228; FR901228; Istodax®) for the treatment of peripheral Tcell lymphoma; Panobinostat (LBH-589; Farydak®) for the treatment ofmultiple myeloma; and belinostat (PXD101; Beleodaq®) for the treatmentof peripheral T cell lymphoma. However, these drugs are of limitedeffectiveness and can give rise to unwanted side effects. Thus there isa need for drugs with an improved safety-efficacy profile.

Given the complex function of HDAC6 and their potential utility in thetreatment of proliferative diseases, neurological diseases, andinflammatory diseases, there is a need for HDAC inhibitors (e.g., HDAC6inhibitors) with good therapeutic properties.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

HDAC6 is a zinc-dependent histone deacetylase that has two catalyticdomains. HDAC6 can interact with and deacetylate non-histone proteins,including HSP90 and α-tubulin. Acetylation of HSP90 is associated withloss of function of HSP90. HDAC6 is also implicated in the degradationof misfolded proteins as part of the aggresome. Accordingly, inhibitionof HDAC6 can have downstream effects that can play a role in thedevelopment of certain diseases such as cancer. The present disclosureprovides inhibitors of HDACs, e.g., HDAC6 and methods for using the sameto treat disease.

In a first aspect of the disclosure, compounds of the Formula I aredescribed:

and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, solvates, hydrates,tautomers, and isomers thereof, wherein R, L, X¹, X², X³, X⁴, Y¹, Y²,Y³, and Y⁴ are described as above.

The details of the disclosure are set forth in the accompanyingdescription below. Although methods and materials similar or equivalentto those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of thepresent disclosure, illustrative methods and materials are nowdescribed. Other features, objects, and advantages of the disclosurewill be apparent from the description and from the claims. In thespecification and the appended claims, the singular forms also includethe plural unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Unless definedotherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the samemeaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art towhich this disclosure belongs. All patents and publications cited inthis specification are incorporated herein by reference in theirentireties.

Definitions

The articles “a” and “an” are used in this disclosure to refer to one ormore than one (e.g., to at least one) of the grammatical object of thearticle. By way of example, “an element” means one element or more thanone element.

The term “optionally substituted” is understood to mean that a givenchemical moiety (e.g., an alkyl group) can (but is not required to) bebonded other substituents (e.g., heteroatoms). For instance, an alkylgroup that is optionally substituted can be a fully saturated alkylchain (e.g. a pure hydrocarbon). Alternatively, the same optionallysubstituted alkyl group can have substituents different from hydrogen.For instance, it can, at any point along the chain be bounded to ahalogen atom, a hydroxyl group, or any other substituent describedherein. Thus the term “optionally substituted” means that a givenchemical moiety has the potential to contain other functional groups,but does not necessarily have any further functional groups.

The term “aryl” refers to cyclic, aromatic hydrocarbon groups that have1 to 2 aromatic rings, including monocyclic or bicyclic groups such asphenyl, biphenyl or naphthyl. Where containing two aromatic rings(bicyclic, etc.), the aromatic rings of the aryl group may be joined ata single point (e.g., biphenyl), or fused (e.g., naphthyl). The arylgroup may be optionally substituted by one or more substituents, e.g., 1to 5 substituents, at any point of attachment.

The term “stereoisomers” refers to the set of compounds which have thesame number and type of atoms and share the same bond connectivitybetween those atoms, but differ in three dimensional structure. The term“stereoisomer” refers to any member of this set of compounds.

The term “diastereomers” refers to the set of stereoisomers which cannotbe made superimposable by rotation around single bonds. For example,cis- and trans-double bonds, endo- and exo-substitution on bicyclic ringsystems, and compounds containing multiple stereogenic centers withdifferent relative configurations are considered to be diastereomers.The term “diastereomer” refers to any member of this set of compounds.In some examples presented, the synthetic route may produce a singlediastereomer or a mixture of diastereomers. In some cases thesediastereomers were separated and in other cases a wavy bond is used toindicate the structural element where configuration is variable.

The term “enantiomers” refers to a pair of stereoisomers which arenon-superimposable mirror images of one another. The term “enantiomer”refers to a single member of this pair of stereoisomers. The term“racemic” refers to a 1:1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers.

The term “tautomers” refers to a set of compounds that have the samenumber and type of atoms, but differ in bond connectivity and are inequilibrium with one another. A “tautomer” is a single member of thisset of compounds. Typically a single tautomer is drawn but it isunderstood that this single structure is meant to represent all possibletautomers that might exist. Examples include enol-ketone tautomerism.When a ketone is drawn it is understood that both the enol and ketoneforms are part of the disclosure.

An “effective amount” when used in connection with a compound is anamount effective for treating or preventing a disease in a subject asdescribed herein.

The term “carrier”, as used in this disclosure, encompasses carriers,excipients, and diluents and means a material, composition or vehicle,such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent orencapsulating material, involved in carrying or transporting apharmaceutical agent from one organ, or portion of the body, to anotherorgan, or portion of the body of a subject.

The term “treating” with regard to a subject, refers to improving atleast one symptom of the subject's disorder. Treating includes curing,improving, or at least partially ameliorating the disorder.

The term “disorder” is used in this disclosure to mean, and is usedinterchangeably with, the terms disease, condition, or illness, unlessotherwise indicated.

The term “administer”, “administering”, or “administration” as used inthis disclosure refers to either directly administering a disclosedcompound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the disclosed compoundor a composition to a subject, or administering a prodrug derivative oranalog of the compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of thecompound or composition to the subject, which can form an equivalentamount of active compound within the subject's body.

The term “prodrug,” as used in this disclosure, means a compound whichis convertible in vivo by metabolic means (e.g., by hydrolysis) to adisclosed compound. Furthermore, as used herein a prodrug is a drugwhich is inactive in the body, but is transformed in the body typicallyeither during absorption or after absorption from the gastrointestinaltract into the active compound. The conversion of the prodrug into theactive compound in the body may be done chemically or biologically(e.g., using an enzyme).

The term “solvate” refers to a complex of variable stoichiometry formedby a solute and solvent. Such solvents for the purpose of the disclosuremay not interfere with the biological activity of the solute. Examplesof suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, water, MeOH, EtOH,and AcOH. Solvates wherein water is the solvent molecule are typicallyreferred to as hydrates. Hydrates include compositions containingstoichiometric amounts of water, as well as compositions containingvariable amounts of water.

The term “isomer” refers to compounds that have the same composition andmolecular weight but differ in physical and/or chemical properties. Thestructural difference may be in constitution (geometric isomers) or inthe ability to rotate the plane of polarized light (stereoisomers). Withregard to stereoisomers, the compounds of Formula I may have one or moreasymmetric carbon atom and may occur as racemates, racemic mixtures andas individual enantiomers or diastereomers.

A “patient” or “subject” is a mammal, e.g., a human, mouse, rat, guineapig, dog, cat, horse, cow, pig, or non-human primate, such as a monkey,chimpanzee, baboon or rhesus.

Example 89—In Vitro Histone Deacetylase Assay

The enzymatic HDAC6 assay was performed using electrophoretic mobilityshift assay. Full length human recombinant HDAC6 protein was expressedin baculoviral system and purified by affinity chromatography. Theenzymatic reactions were assembled in 384 well plates in a total volumeof 25 μL in a reaction buffer composing: 100 mM HEPES, pH7.5, 25 mM KCl,0.1% bovine serum albumin, 0.01% Triton X-100, 1% DMSO (from compounds)2 μM of the fluorescently labeled peptide substrate and enzyme. Theenzyme was added at a final concentration of 1 nM. The peptide substrateRHKK(Ac)—NH2 was used. The compounds were tested at 12 concentrationsspaced by 3× dilution intervals. Negative control samples (0%-inhibitionin the absence of inhibitor) and positive control samples(100%-inhibition) were assembled in replicates of four in each assayplate. The reactions were incubated at 25° C. and quenched by theaddition of 45 μL of termination buffer (100 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.01%Triton X-100, 0.05% SDS).

The terminated assay plates were analyzed on LabChip® 3000 microfluidicelectrophoresis instrument (Perkin Elmer/Caliper Life Sciences). Thefluorescence intensity of the electrophoretically separatedde-acetylated product and substrate peptide was measured. Activity ineach sample was determined as the product to sum ratio (PSR): P/(S+P),where P is the peak height of the product peptide and S is the peakheight of the substrate peptide. Percent inhibition (Pinh) is determinedusing the following equation:

Pinh=(PSR0%−PSRinh)/(PSR0%−PSR100%)*100, where PSRinh is the product sumratio in the presence of inhibitor, PSR0% is the average product sumration in the absence of inhibitor and PSR100% is the average productsum ratio in 100%-inhibition control samples. The IC₅₀ values ofinhibitors were determined by fitting the %-inhibition curves with 4parameter dose-response model using XLfit 4 software.

As set forth in Table 45, below, IC₅₀ values are defined as follows:IC50≤0.1 μM (+++); IC50>0.1 μM and ≤0.5 μM (++); IC50>0.5 μM (+).
